Trump Loyalist Demotes Senior Prosecutors Who Led January 6 Cases
What Happened: Acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, a Trump loyalist, demoted at least eight senior federal prosecutors who worked on January 6 riot cases, reassigning them to entry-level jobs. The retaliation is aimed at forcing them to resign.
Why It Matters: This is a blatant purge of those who held Trump’s insurrectionists accountable, as Ed Martin defended insurrectionists and rioters. By dismantling prosecutions and weaponizing the Justice Department to protect Trump and his allies, Martin is turning the DOJ into an arm of Trump’s authoritarian agenda.
